Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 18 Oct, 03:02 · Archive
Saudi Arabia says it has intercepted two missiles and three drones launched by Yemen's Houthi militia.
Saudi air defences have intercepted two missiles launched by Yemen's Houthi militia towards the south-western city of Khamis Mushait, according to the Saudi-led military coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki. Two drones near the capital Riyadh were also intercepted, with a third destroyed in the east of the country.
Al-Maliki provided no information on possible damage or casualties from the attacks. The Iran-backed Houthis have stepped up attacks on neighbouring Saudi Arabia amid a renewed escalation of the war in Yemen. Saudi Arabia supports Yemen's internationally recognised government and has repeatedly carried out airstrikes against the Houthis as part of the Saudi-led military coalition.
